Pink Parcel and bettybox have asked us to find Mumsnetters to test their monthly subscription boxes with their daughters. To take part, you’ll need to be a Mumsnetter who uses femcare products and/or have a daughter using femcare products.

Some information from Pink Parcel and bettybox below:

Pink Parcel: “Pink Parcel is the UK’s No1 period subscription box that unites periods and pampering to make your time of the month fuss-free and fabulous. Delivered to your door monthly on a day of your choosing each box contains over £40 of femcare and beauty products including a luxe curation of cult beauty brands, herbal teas and artisan chocolates. You can select your choice of tampons, pads or a mix of both from all your trusted femcare brands. This super convenient box ensures you’ll never run out of femcare products again.”

bettybox: “bettybox is the perfect pick me up for girls. As well as all their trusted femcare products, they can expect sweet treats, make-up, stationery and more all from brands specially selected for teens. Choose from all your favourite femcare brands and receive your monthly box with treats worth up to £30 delivered for free directly to your door. You’ll never have to worry about running out of pads again!”

If selected to take part, you’ll need to give your feedback on a thread on Mumsnet as well as completing a short survey. All who complete the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

Still not received???

ShewasjustawishStevie · 28/02/2018 12:43

Pink Parcel ~ unites periods and freebleeding

Frombothsidesnow · 28/02/2018 14:48

Indeed. I just worry what all those posters too embarrassed to buy sanitary protection are doing without the boxes.

ilovekitkats · 28/02/2018 14:50

just came to check if anything is wrong as haven't received yet, see there is a delay, so will hopefully hear soon

Intotheclouds · 01/03/2018 22:22

frombothsides its not just people that may be embarrassed to go out and buy the products. They could be like my self and have physical/mental problems that restricts them from being able to leave the house and get them when they need them.

Frombothsidesnow · 01/03/2018 23:24

But presumably you're able to buy them already online?

It's Pink Parcel's marketing, not my thinking.

Intotheclouds · 02/03/2018 08:22

Yes of course you can. But it's the convenience of it and having a little something extra with it to cheer you up. It's suitable for some and not for others.

SavoyCabbage · 02/03/2018 09:48

I’ve just got mine this morning.

Is anyone going to do an unboxing? Is it the regular March one or a special one for MN?

ShewasjustawishStevie · 02/03/2018 10:07

Spoiler alert

For those not lucky enough to be chosen

March 2018 Pink Parcel unboxing

Shock: it does not contain any chocolate!

starlingsintheslipstream · 02/03/2018 10:26

My Pink Parcel has just arrived. It claims to fit through 94% of letter boxes. I'm evidently one of the 6%. Will post more later...

Kangar00 · 02/03/2018 11:17

Hi, my parcel has now arrived but I'm not due my period for another couple of weeks. I am going to keep the box closed and open it then. A review will follow. The postman knocked on the door to deliver despite it saying it would fit through the letterbox

Gizlotsmum · 02/03/2018 11:34

Morning received mine, again didn’t fit through letter box but packaging was discreet and actually I liked the freebies and the layout is nice. All the products seem (although not using just yet) low absorbancy, was hoping for a bit more of a range and would still need to supplement with shop brought products. Waiting for my daughters box to arrive now! Thank you

MaureenSowerbutts · 02/03/2018 12:36

Mine arrived to day and there was a good selection of products in the absorbancy I requested. Nice packaging...contents nothing that amazed me. My letter box is also too small which would prove a pain.

inashizzle · 02/03/2018 14:06

Very impressed. Had a quick bash of some of the products. I'll review later; my 19 yr old home from uni for the weekend has been eyeballing and trialing too. A glint in her eye tells me I'll be down a couple of itemsGrin

sepsisandAKI · 02/03/2018 14:40

A nice amount of pads. Quite like the samples but look at bit steep full price! Lipstick is very umm red!

Chooshoes · 02/03/2018 16:26

Me too arrived this morning. Good stuff! DD likes the red lip stick! The amount of packaging seems excessive though although on the plus it can all be recycled. We laughed at the 3 coconut treats... down in one! I am also in the 6% that have a small letterbox! Just waiting for dds to come now.

EnconaHotSauce · 02/03/2018 16:55

Mine arrived this morning, another one whose letterbox is too small.
Decent range of pads, not wowed by the single tea bag and coconut treats. Haven’t yet tried the makeup but reckon teen dd will like the lip plumper and lipstick

EnconaHotSauce · 02/03/2018 16:58

Just reading the op again “over £40 worth” hmmm. And I don’t think I’d pay the subscription price for it either, even though it’s a lot less than £40.

sepsisandAKI · 02/03/2018 19:08

Oh yes, I'm also in that 'small' percentage of a letter box that is also too small Hmm

FoxTeaParty · 02/03/2018 19:23

Did the people who have received the boxes have an email saying it was on its way? I had the email saying i had been selected and the one asking which products i wanted but thats it....

HarryStylesismycrack · 02/03/2018 19:29

Mine arrived today but should I have something else for my DD? 🤔

Minisoksmakehardwork · 02/03/2018 20:19

I have neither had my email nor have I received mine and dd's boxes. But we didn't see the postie at all today and we are also expecting other packages.

Raahh · 02/03/2018 21:07

I have just looked up this thread, as I was wondering whether there was a delay (I received the email a while back, and filled in a survey, but then nothing). Looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't heard anything though. Grin.

Belo · 02/03/2018 21:34

I received mine also today. Could not have been better timing! DD hasn't received hers yet though.
